Resources

The Manager handles the logic used to process events as objects called resources. Active channels, data monitors, filters, cases, assets, queries, trends reports, rules, and packages are all examples of resources.

A resource defines the properties, values, and relationships used to configure the functions the Manager performs. Resources can also be the output of such a configuration (such as archived reports, or Threat Detector snapshots and patterns).

The Manager has over 30 different types of resources and comes with hundreds of these resources already configured to give you functionality as soon as the product is installed. These resources are presented in the Navigator panel of the ArcSight Console.

This topic provides an overview on working with resources in the Console. Resources in general are discussed in more detail in the topic “Resources” in ESM 101.
